DUNNE AND JOHN P. BISAHA ABSTRACT; The ability of untrained individuals to describe a remote site where an agent will be at a future time, before the target location haspb ems, determined, was investigated in eight separate trials using two volunteer pe --it?* ients who had no claim to extraordinary psychic abilities. The descriptions were matched and ranked against the various transcri locations ns of independent judges who had no other co target locations by results of this matching cited a degree of accuracy p 008 (one-tailed) si g~- The ability of individuals to describe remote geographical loca- tions up to several thousand kilometers distant from their physical presence was labeled "remote viewing" by Puthoff and Targ (1976a) at Stanford Research Institute. In these experiments the percipient was closeted with an experimenter at SRI and, at an agreed-upon time, attempted to describe the site which was then being visited by a target team of experimenters known to the percipient. The target sites were chosen randomly from a pool of over 100 targets within a 30-minute driving distance and were unknown to either the percip- ient or the experimenters who remained with him. After allowing 30 minutes for travel time, the percipient was asked to attempt to scribe aloud into a tape recorder his impressions of the locat: ,4` where he thought the target team was and to draw a sketch of the location he was describing. The "demarcation" team remained at the target site for 15 minutes, the same 15-minute period during which the percipient was recording his impressions. In the course of experimentation, one participant claimed to have received impressions of the targets before the trials began, and her descriptions turned out to be exceptionally accurate, even though the target locations had not been selected at the time these impressions were received. These spontaneous occurrences moti- This paper is based on a preliminary report given on August 21, 1976, at the nthineteenthU annual convention of the Parapsychological Assoc i auon which was held at Approved For Release 2001/03/26: CIA-RDP96-d6rfMb ddb 23-9 Approved For Release 2001/03/26 CIA-RDP96-00787R000200080023-9 w A.
